Fly Fishing Gear for Green Springs Creek in Pennsylvania
Fly Line:
We think a 4 weight floating fly line would be all you would need to fish Green Springs Creek.
Certainly that size line or even smaller would be great for dry fly fishing. We don't overlook
the fact that many prefer a slightly larger line and stiffer fly rod tip for fishing nymphs and
streamers. You may prefer a 5 or even a 6 weight fly line in that case.
Fly Rod:
Again, a 4 weight, eight to eight and one-half foot fly rod in a medium action would work great
for most all of the fishing. If you want a heavier rod for nymphs and streamers, then either a 5
or 6 weight, medium to medium fast action rod from eight to nine feet long would be perfect.
Leader:
We recommend you carry spare leaders ranging from 3X to 7X from 9 to 12 foot long.
Tippet:
Tippet to match the leader size from 3X to 7X should be on hand.
Waders:
Although there isn't any places wide enough for you to have to wear waders, you may want to
simply to protect your legs in the heavy grass and to be able to step into the edges of the
water to land a trout or to release a hook caught in the grass.
Landing Net:
Landing nets come in handy around the soggy banks and reaching out into the water.
Trout Flies:
We think our "Perfect Fly" Scud and Sowbug flies are excellent for this stream. Our mayfly
and caddis imitations are far better than any that are commercially available. If you haven't
tried them, please do so. You want be disappointed.
